Status of taglibs?

[Bob Damato <bo...@coxtarget.com>]

Most of the taglibs are still listed with a beta status. Is there any timeframe on a final release?

Good question, Bob.  Each individual taglib at Jakarta Taglibs is on its
own schedule; the group of committers as a whole votes on release, but I
think it's accurate to say that the cycle for each taglib is driven mostly
by the primary maintainer(s) of the taglib.

The "Standard Taglib," which is the JSTL reference implementation, is
currently planned for an end-of-May release, which coincides with FCS for
the spec itself.  After that, my hope is that a number of Jakarta Taglibs
tags can be modified slightly to integrate with JSTL and then be released.

Note that many of the taglibs, though officially in "beta," have been
quite stable for some time and are eminently usable.  The Standard Taglib
is in Beta 1, corresponding with Public Review under the Java Community
Process.

Best,
